Bob Schneider (born October 12, 1965) is an American musician based in Austin, TX. He is the former lead-singer of Ugly Americans.
For nearly ten years, Schneider has performed a Monday night residency at the Saxon Pub, an intimate and legendary venue on South Lamar, Austin, Texas. Schneider and the members of Lonelyland, the band name that he uses to keep these shows “underground,” are seated on stage as they work through a “live rehearsal” of songs that Schneider calls up from his repertoire of over four hundred songs.

CG What's so funny is nobody's laughing at this change of heart you're having. CG CG What's so funny is I'm filled up with thunder, but I can't seem to get out from under, CG all these stones you tied to my chest.
Dm I can't change your mind. FCG I can't change your mind.
CG What's so funny is I'm scared and lonely, and I don't think that I'm the only CG one as I watch you drive away. CG and what's so funny is the birds are singing, sun shining, and bells are ringing CG and I'm thinking, 'what happened here?'
Dm and I can't change your mind. F and I can't change your mind. Am and I can't change your mind. DmC and I can't change your mind.
AmF There's a chappel in Minneapolis and it holds the bones of a dead saint in it CG the stain glass glows from the ceiling there, and reminds me of the feeling where AmF I first looked into your eyes, and saw the most beautiful birds CG fly strait into the sun, their wings on fire, the deed was done.
Dm Oh and I can't change your mind. F I can't change your mind. Am I can't change your mind. DmC I can't change your mind.
CG Whats so funny is this piece of skin, the one on my arm with your name inked CG in. What was I thinking? CG But what's so funny is the way things go down. Like when a star dies it doesn't make a CG sound. It's just gone, you can't find it when you look into the sky.
Dm And I can't change your mind. F And I can't change your mind. Am I can't change your mind. G I can't change your mind. Am I can't change your mind. F I can't change your mind. C I can't change your mind. G I can't do it.
CG There's a werewolf out on my front lawn and he's looking pissed CG off and he's wet from all the rain. CGC I think I'll go say hi, and offer him a beer.
